Can a battery energy storage system control electrical fires?
However, these systems may be used in the computer or control rooms of an ESS to control any electrical fires. Thermal runaway in lithium batteries results in an uncontrollable rise in temperature and propagation of extreme fire hazards within a battery energy storage system (BESS).
How to protect a battery system from a fire?
Battery systems, modules and cells must be protected against external (electrical) fires. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks. The extinguishing agent should ensure zero residue to the protection of the installation.
Why is it important to protect battery energy storage systems from fire?
Therefore, it is first of all necessary to protect the storage systems from an external fire event in order to prevent cell breakdown processes initiated due to external combustion heat. First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk.
Are battery energy storage systems a fire risk?
If your facility houses a battery energy storage system (BESS), it may be at higher risk for fires and explosions, and you need to plan accordingly with specialized fire detection solutions.
How do lithium-ion batteries protect against fire?
Evidence has shown that the key to successful fire protection of lithium-ion batteries is suppressing/extinguishing the fire, reducing of heat-transfer from cell to cell and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the battery pack/module.
How can a marine battery management system reduce fire risk?
Provision of suitable compartmentation around the battery packs to limit the spread of any fire, this is probably much simpler in marine applications. Suitable Battery Management Systems linked to fire and gas detection systems to enable fast detection to allow for activation of fire protection systems and evacuation of passengers where applicable.
